Can squeezing while stimulating beat stimulation alone for leakage?
NCT ID NCT07604415
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether doing active anal sphincter squeezes during home-based electrical stimulation works better than electrical stimulation alone for people with fecal incontinence. 24 adults with at least monthly leakage will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and use a device at home for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the active group has a greater reduction in incontinence severity scores.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- home-based anal electrical stimulator (NeuroTrac Continence device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a more effective home treatment for fecal incontinence, improving quality of life without surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement from adding active contractions might be small or not meaningful.
